Broken Spears Essay - Why the Aztecs Could Have Won

2007-10-23T23:15:00.001-07:00

Portilla'sCM contribution to historians’ understanding of the Spanish invasion of Mexico challenges typical assumptions made of the resistance byCM Aztec forces and the intangibleCM advantages enjoyed by Spanish troops. The Broken Spears contains evidence of well trained, effective, and dynamic Aztec military forces capable of going toe to toe with Spanish forces. The Broken Spears highlights the important role fear played in paralyzing Aztec leadership, leaving the Aztecs susceptible to attack by Spanish forces.

The notion that Aztecs were defenseless is absurd. To the contrary, The Broken Spears indicates the Aztecs possessed well trained armies. There’s strong evidence to support the idea of a rigorous Aztec combat training program. In fact, Aztec military preparations were so thorough they conscripted young children for combat training (Portilla, XLIII) and even kept the entire Tlaxcala nation in tact to be used as a nonconsensual sparring partner to train inexperienced warriors. (Portilla, XLI) The effectiveness of Aztec military training can be judged by the span of Aztec power. By the time the Spanish had arrived the Aztecs had subjected most of their neighbors including Coyoacan, Cuitlahuac, Xochimilco and Chalco to a tributary relationship. (Portilla, XLCM)

The Broken Spears also highlights the Aztecs’ excellent military command structure that greatly contributed to a disciplined fighting force. Small units of roughly 20 soldiers were grouped into larger units of a few hundred. Each group was commanded by a tiachcauh and these were led by even more powerful military commanders known as tlacatecatl and tlacochcalcatl. (Portilla, XLIII) The Aztecs benefited greatly from this command structure during the Night of Sorrows. Aztec warriors obediently carried out orders given by group leaders such as the call to arms issued by Huitzilopochtli to pursue fleeing Spanish troops and their Tlaxcala allies. There’s also a superb display of Aztec military discipline during Cortes’ recapture of Tenochtitlan. Rather than run in terror and confusion as much of the city had done when cannons were fired, (Portilla, 66) Aztec warriors displayed military discipline and stood their ground against terrifying Spanish cannons and quickly adapted with zig-zagging techniques to reduce casualties. (Portilla, 94)

The Aztecs demonstrated an excellent grasp on military tactics during the defense of Techochtitlan. The Aztecs attempted to ambush and capture or murder key Spanish personnel like Fray Bernardino de Sahagun who could speak Nahuatl, a key Spanish resource enabling negotiations with potential allies. (Portilla, 83) The Aztecs enforced an effective blockade against Spanish troops barricaded inside the Tenochtitlan palace, and forced Spanish troops to temporarily withdraw. (Portilla, 78)

It's difficult to be asked to believe the Aztecs were defenseless against invading Spanish armies after a thorough examination of the Night of Sorrows during which the Spanish and allied Tlaxcala warriors were quickly routed after a surprise attack. In response to the massacre at Toxcatl, the Aztecs placed Cortes under siege, (Portilla, 78) forcing Cortes to retreat from Tenochtitlan. (Portilla, 83) The ensuing battle leads to a slaughter of the Spanish and Tlaxcala forces at the hands of the Aztecs. The Massacre at the Canal of the Toltecs epitomizes the capability of the Aztecs to defeat Spanish forces. The Spanish had been so badly cornered by the Aztecs the Spanish had been forced to leap from the cliff the Aztecs corralled them in. There were so many bodies a literal manmade bridge had been constructed over which remaining Spanish forces continued their retreat. (Portilla, 85)

The traditional account of the Spanish conquest of Mexico would have historians believe gunpowder was the only military advantageCM the Spanish enjoyed over the Aztecs. The Broken Spears proves this thesis to be anything but accurate. One of the most crucial advantages the Spanish had over the Aztecs was fear. Fear turned otherwise strong, capable Aztec leaders into cowering lumps of mush.

Montecuhzoma stands out as a prime example of how fear of the Spaniards paved the way for Spanish victory over Mexico. It’s important to note Montecuhzoma’s reaction to the arrival of unfamiliar Spanish vessels on the Aztec coast. Montecuhzoma felt threatened by the arrival of the Spanish whom Montcuhzoma perceived to be gods. (Portilla, 13) This led to a devastating lack of strong leadership on the part of Montecuhzoma. Time after time his fear of the Spanish enables Cortes to place Montecuhzoma and his people in ever more compromising situations, not the least of which is his decision to welcome the Spanish into Tenochtitlan after hearing of the conversion of Tezcoco to Christianity. (Portilla, 61) By allowing the Spanish into the city Montecuhzoma set the stage for his own capture and death.

As soon as the Spanish had entered the city they placed Montecuhzoma under house arrest and shot a cannon round to throw the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan into confusion. (Portilla, 65-66) Spanish troops secured and looted the city, seizing vast stores of Aztec gold. After a twenty day stay, the Spanish attacked the Aztecs without warning and slaughtered a large group of Aztec warriors unarmed. (Portilla, 74) Had Montecuhzoma acted with fortitude and placed confidence in his military might his army would have never been caught unarmed and mowed down by the Spanish and Tlaxcalas without resistance.

Portilla’s The Broken Spears adds to historians understanding of the fall of Mexico at the hands of the Spanish by providing a contrast to several common storylines. Most notably, he reverses the idea that the Aztecs were powerless against Spanish cannons and arquebuses. He reveals the Aztecs to be a warlike people capable of fending against the Spanish for themselves. This side of the Aztecs is most visible on the Night of Sorrows just after the Spanish massacre of Aztec warriors. The Aztecs successfully force Spanish-Taxcala military forces to retreat from Tenochtitlan with all haste, inflicting heavy casualties on Spanish soldiers and Taxcala warriors. Furthermore, Portilla effectively dispels the myth that guns were the only advantage possessed by the Spanish. The actions of Montecuhzoma present a clear case for fear playing a large role in the fall of the Aztec empire. Rather than standing firm when faced with Spanish aggression, Montecuhzoma acquiesces to Spanish demands which places Montecuhzoma and his people in precarious positions and susceptible to attacks by the Spanish.

Ebay Pro Stores Review

2006-12-13T23:23:00.001-08:00

Thinking about buying a new content management system for your E-commerce site? Is a customized solution too much or too complicated for you? Don't even know what a content management system is? Well, look no further because I'm going to tell you all you need to know.

Content Management Systems
Content Management Systems are web based software that allows web developers to publish and sell goods and services on the internet. There are litterally thousands of websites that profit from selling goods and services online, they range in size from small mom and pop hobby stores looking to make extra cash on auction sites like Ebay to the well known titans of E-commerce like Amazon. As a result, a whole new industry has sprung up to cater to their wants and needs.

Ebay Pro Stores
So how can Pro Stores help you successfully market an E-Commerce site? Well, I'll review the features and break them down right here. I'll simplify all the jargon and let you know if ProStores is right for you or just hype in a box.

The Review
There are 4 different levels to choose from, "ProStores Express", "ProStores Business", "ProStores Advanced", and "ProStores Enterprise". At time of publishing this article they cost $6.95, $29.95, $74.95, and $249.95 respectively.

The best thing about a ProStore is instant boost your profit margins will receive if you're using a 3rd party payment gateway because it only charges a .5% transaction fee. Chances are, your merchant account is taking anywhere from 5% - 10% of the purchase price on every sale you make! If you're doing a $1000 a month in sales or more, the money you save in transaction charages alone would more than pay for the cost of a Pro Store. Better yet, all transactions are SSL encrypted and billed in real time which means customer information is safe, secure and charged instantly.

ProStores is also an Ebay Company, which means your E-business will be backed by one of the top internet companies in the world, with offices worldwide from Japan to Germany. You'll have many resources at your disposal, including access to its extremely popular Ebay auction site. ProStores also provides a consulting service that pairs you with an E-commerce veteran who will review your goals and needs and set up a customized E-commerce solution that fits your business model and budget.

Domain name comes standard with every ProStore subscription (Except ProStores Express) allowing you to create a domain that includes your business name. They also have professional design services that have created numerous successful site designs including the popular ZStore.

Disadvantages

Unfortunately, ProStores isn't the easiest content management system out there. While we like the ability to upload mass product feeds, it lacks a simple and intuitive interface to add a manage products.
Lacks 24 hour support for lower end customers.

Advantages

ProStores's order processing really stands out. Real time credit card processing, inventory management, and customer processing still make it a great choice for any current or potential E-merchant
Use your own domain name
Quickbooks integration
Different subscription levels to suit your needs and budget

Final Analysis
Would I buy a ProStores system? Yes! Despite its drawbacks ProStores is a great choice because of its price. A custom system that includes all the features of the ProStores Express would cost at at least $1500 dollars! ProStores are also backed by Ebay, one of the most powerful companies on the internet today. It's a great solution for everyone from E-Commerce veterans to somebody who just started competing in the E-marketplace.

If you're still skeptical, try it for 30 days free!

Using Sitemaps to Get Listed

2006-12-13T23:22:00.001-08:00

A sitemap is a directory of links to other pages on a website. There are essentially two types of sitemaps, one geared toward visitors and the other designed for search engine spiders. Both have very important and distinct functions for webmasters.

Sitemaps for SEO
Webmasters are faced with the challenge of getting pages spidered and ranked. That’s where sitemaps come in. Search Engines like Google use sitemaps to detect new web pages or content on a website. Actively maintaining a sitemap helps tell search engines which pages of your site have changed and where your new content is. Sitemaps are also a good way for new sites to get noticed quickly by major search engines.

Sitemap Programs for the Big Three

Sitemaps for Google
Google just came out with a new beta program called Google Sitemaps that allows webmasters to tell Google where their sitemap is located. In return for helping Google catalogue information on the internet, Google Sitemaps provides you with valuable data on how Google Bot views your site including pages that it is having trouble spidering, the keywords it sees as important on your site, and how often Google Bot is crawling your pages. You can sign up for one here.

To create a basic Sitemap for your site open up notepad, type or paste in the urls of the pages you want spidered, then save the file as a UT8-F encoded file then upload the file to your site and viola! You have a sitemap. Next, you need to sign up for a Google Sitemaps account and complete the simple verification procedure.

Sitemaps for Yahoo!
Yahoo! provides a program similar to Google Sitemaps they call Site Explorer. Follow this URL to join this program.

MSN Sitemaps
Unfortunately, MSN does not offer a sitemap program yet.

Sitemaps for Visitors
Sitemaps can be used to help visitors access information on your site and allows webmasters more flexibility with site design. You can use a sitemap to maintain a simplistic home page that limits its links to important and new web pages pages or provide a comprehensive directory of all pages on your site.

A good example of a sitemap geared for visitors can be found here at SEO Chat. Notice there are two columns, the left column points to a sitemap on a specific subject which contains links to all the articles on their site related to that subject. The column on the right lists links to pages on their forums that deal with specific topics such as PageRank and Site Reviews.

Ecommerce sites typically make a directory of all their products to help potential customers find the products they want. ThinkGeek has a good Ecommerce sitemap. It lists and organizes all the products it sells, which helps consumers find the products they need.

When making your sitemaps remember they are used to organize the information on your site for visitors and search engines. A good sitemap will help visitors and spiders quickly and easily find information on your website. Don’t hesitate to make multiple sitemaps with different purposes such as a sitemap for visitors and a sitemap that is compatible with Google Sitemaps. An well designed and effective sitemap will help propel you to the top of search engine listings and keep visitors coming back to your site.

Wiivenge - Reggie Fils-Aime On Notice

2006-12-13T23:18:00.003-08:00

Yet another target for my unbridled rage!....and Exclamation PointS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reggie Fils-aime, Nintendo's go to American PR guy has promised a lot. By a lot I mean a lot of Wii units available at launch.

Sadly, Reggie has broken his promise. Because I was lulled into a false sense of security over the past 6 months by promises of bountiful Wii stocks I slept in this morning. I was "seduced in to deception [his] last post were lies and not truths. [I am] fooled like a duck. A cupcake is on [my] face." As a result of this deception, I have failed to acquire a Wii pre-order contract with a major video game distribution corporation.

From what I hear there were only about 10 units available per store at launch. So Reggie, you're officially on notice! (Until you provide me with a console for purchase at launch and if you give me one for free you go on the wall on heroes! If you give me a console and 10 controller components, you will be a permanent hero and have your name highlighted in platinum text.

It's Science

2006-12-10T23:25:00.000-08:00

There are hundreds of other science articles I've read since high school and they all used to amaze me. I would sit at my computer and think "wow, I didn't even see that comming." Well science, I've finally reached the point where I'm not surprised about much anymore. With talk about virtual immortality, traveling to mars, and playing god in the scientific community I'm not phased by much. Even if I woke up tommorow and heard we cured cancer I wouldn't be surprised. Here is a list of things that would surprise me:

I'll be surprised when they say we can...

send manned space craft to the nearest solar system and back within a typical human's lifespan.

Okay science, I keep hearing about going to the moon, mars, and checking out planets in our solar system. I'm not going to be surprised when we do it because I know we can. What I'm unsure of is our ability to travel outside of our Solar System. It seems as though we're stuck here in this dump with only ONE planet hospitable to human life. We don't even have a nice view! The ort cloud and Kuiper Belt? Pfff, please. Let me know when I can buy a ticket out of here.

mass produce light sabers with a cost just under $150.

Look guys, it's time we got light sabers. I really don't care how you do it. I don't care if they don't hum and only come in green. I need a light saber. I don't even care about the technology behind it, use plasma, high energy laser kept in place by powerful magnets, I don't care. They're just so darn cool!

Time Travel.

I don't really expect you to get this one down in my lifetime. I know we can theoretically move forward in time (E=MC2), but how do we move back? There's a lot of things I want to see and do, most of which involve changing the future. (I have no issues about changing the future.)

Teleport

I figure this one will come way after faster than light travel and after I'm long gone. Though it would be nice to instantly transport anywhere instantly.

I guess that's it. If something DOES surprise me, I'll let you all know.

Meaning Behind Heroes Crane

2006-12-09T23:17:00.001-08:00

If you haven't noticed symbolism runs rampant through the lives of our heroes. I've read a lot of conversation about Hiro's paper crane and what it means. I'll try to present historical and story context of the events surrounding Hiro's paper crane.

Hiro's grandparents were victims of the devastation of the Hiroshima atomic bombing of WWII. Hiro was named after the city ("Hiro"shima) in hopes they would never forget the devastation and suffering that ensued.

In an attempt to teach him the importance of acting to confront evil and the difference a single person can make in the world, his Grandfather gives him his personal copy of Action Comics #1. (The first comic featuring Superman.) Sadly, Hiro loses track of the lessons personified in the character Superman. Hiro grows up and reflects Clark Kent, a weak, spineless man, incapable of standing up for himself let alone standing up against evil.

After Hiro discovers his super powers he tears up his comic book collection and finds Action Comics #1 at the bottom of his stash, reflective of the place he has put the qualities of Superman in his life. He suddenly has a great appreciation for the things his grandfather was trying to teach him. Realizing he has failed to make a difference in the world he rips the cover off Action Comics #1 and folds it into a paper crane.

Paper Cranes are associated all over the world with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and peace because of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako developed leukemia as a result of the bombing and died very young. When she was close to death she heard legend that said folding a 1000 paper cranes would grant a single wish. She raced to fold 1000 cranes and wished for an end suffering. She died after folding about half. The rest were folded by her classmates who buried all 1000 paper cranes with her.

Today, there is a memorial to Sadako with the words "This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world." In the final scene of "The Crane" Hiro is seen kneeling at the bottom of a statue with these very words inscribed and innumerable paper cranes surrounding his.

Heroes Symbolism: Kali

2006-12-09T23:16:00.001-08:00

n
Kali the Goddess
Kali is a Hindu god. Her name is associated with the words black, and time, some people interpret her name as meaning "black time". She is also said to guide faithful devotees through the afterlife and bestow powers on people who repeat her name.

Significance of Kali
The first scene of the "Monsters" comic opens up with Mohinder recounting a story his grandmother told him about the Hindu god Kali. Then Mohinder's father explains that there is no such thing as monsters and that he doesn't believe in the gods. However, he does believe that people are capable of extraordinary things like teleportation.

In the television series, Chandra mirrors Kali when he is credited for helping Sylar "reach his potential" or become aware powers. I would also like to note that Kali's name can mean time, and Hiro Nakamura has the ability to manipulate the time-space continuum and this probably links Hiro, Chandra, and Sylar.

"I've given you up, go on find someone new."
Till then pretend, you've touched me for your last, (woah-ho)
